I checked the Factcheck edition of the Obama COLB and it does appear to have what appears to be a seal on it.
And I compared it to every previous copy of the same document posted on either the Daily Kos or Obama’s own site.
Why is it that the seal can be seen on the latest version and not the “original”?
Why is it that all of the versions have a border that appears to be manipulated at the corners, and at the text boxes?
Why is it that in all the versions the green background is blurred white around the black lettering?
I have a simple answer, we are looking at a progressive forgery backed by “experts” whose sole job is to fix or debunk the flaws in the original until the latest version of the forgery is unassailable.
The left has learned from the Rather debacle, and is using us to proofread their frauds for them so that they can create even better frauds.
Forged but “accurate”??????
btt!

“Why is it that the seal can be seen on the latest version and not the original?”
Because the ‘original’ posted by fightthesmears site had the resolution cut in order to post it on that site. That’s part of what caused all the confusion in the first place.
The source of the fightthesmears, KOS, and factcheck.org images is the same: It’s from the Obama campaign.
It’s further interesting that KOS cropped their image, and factcheck.org left it alone. Factcheck.org was helpful enough to provide the person on the Obama campaign who gave it to them.

There is one original version, so that theory doesnt work.
I went there also and followed a link. I got out my magnifying glass and still did not see a faint seal. Maybe I followed the wrong link. Could you please either post the certificate you saw or post the link?
